"Impressive - a full fledged artist - musical sensibility and technical skill."
DARIUSZ SAMÓL, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
INTERNATIONAL SAXOPHONE FESTIVAL, POLAND
"Working with Anna Marie Wytko on the creation and premiere of a new work was like a composer's dream come true. A composer's ideal performer is, of course, one who plays with tremendous mastery and artistry, and who is dedicated to faithfully realizing the composer's vision. But beyond this, she must bring her own ideas about what the piece needs in order to speak to the audience as beautifully and as forcefully as possible. Truly gifted performers don't just play pieces - they make them their own. Rarely have I had the pleasure of working with a performer who so clearly possesses all of these qualities."
CRAIG WESTON, COMPOSER
KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY
